ICT Trading Mentorship Programme

The Inner Circle Traders — Mentorship Programme

The ICT framework,
applied to live markets.

The core ICT programme teaches the methodology. The mentorship takes it into real sessions — live walkthroughs, trade reviews, and a structured community for traders who have done the reading and are ready to execute.

What is included

Everything the articles cannot give you.

Reading the ICT Trading methodology builds the vocabulary. Watching it work on a live chart, in real time, with annotated reasoning, is what builds the skill. The mentorship is the bridge between knowing the framework and using it.
01

Live Session Walkthroughs

Pre-market prep and live session analysis covering London and NY kill zones. Daily bias is set before the open. The Judas Swing is identified and narrated in real time. Entries, stops, and targets are marked using the same PD array tools taught in the articles — but on today’s chart, with today’s price.
02

Trade Review Sessions

Submitted trades are reviewed using the ICT framework. Not “here is what you did wrong” — here is what the chart was telling you at each decision point. The review maps the actual price action to the correct CRT phase, CHoCH, and FVG or Order Block entry. Pattern recognition built from real trades, not hypothetical examples.
03

Structured Community

A community built around the ICT framework, not opinion and noise. Discussions are anchored in ICT methodology concepts. Members share setups using the correct vocabulary — daily bias, liquidity pools, AMD phases. The shared language makes feedback precise and immediately actionable.
04

Methodology Q&A

Direct access to methodology questions with answers grounded in the ICT framework. Questions about Balanced Price Range confluence, advanced CRT stacking, SMT divergence confirmation, or how to handle missed entries — answered by reference to the specific framework concepts involved, not general trading opinion.
05

Weekly Market Preparation

A structured weekly prep session covering the prior week’s key price action, the current week’s HTF levels, major news events and how to treat them within the ICT framework, and the draw on liquidity for the week ahead. The same pre-session discipline taught in the articles, applied weekly to real market context.
06

No Signals. No Shortcuts.

The mentorship does not provide trade signals, entry alerts, or any form of “follow me into this trade” service. Every session is educational. The goal is that you understand the framework well enough to make your own decisions from your own chart. A trader who depends on signals has not learned to trade — they have learned to copy.
Is this right for you?

Open to every level.

Whether you are brand new to ICT Trading, somewhere in the middle, or already experienced, the mentorship is open to you. We simply recommend working through the free core ICT programme first so the live sessions land on solid ground — but if you would rather learn by doing, you are welcome to apply directly. Either path is fine.
You will get the most from it if…
✓
You have read the 137 articles (or equivalent ICT education) and understand the core vocabulary — daily bias, CHoCH, PD array tools, AMD model.
✓
You can read a clean chart and identify the kill zone, the liquidity pools, and the relevant FVG or Order Block — but struggle to execute that reading with consistency under live market conditions.
✓
You are trading (or paper trading) real sessions and want structured feedback on specific trade decisions, not general motivational content.
✓
You are committed to the ICT methodology as your framework — you are not here to compare it to other systems or blend it with indicators.
✓
You understand that no programme — including this one — can guarantee profitability, and that the only path to consistent results is developing your own framework fluency.
A couple of things to know…
✓
New to ICT Trading? You are still welcome. We recommend starting with Article 01 and the free course outline to build the vocabulary — it makes the live sessions far more valuable. But if you prefer to dive in and learn as you go, you are welcome to apply directly.
−
You are looking for trade signals. This programme does not provide entry alerts, signals groups, or copy-trade services. It is exclusively educational.
−
You want a quick system. The ICT framework takes time to internalise. The mentorship accelerates that process — it does not compress it into a weekend.
−
You are not willing to submit trade reviews. The review process is the core of the mentorship. Passive attendance without submitting your own work limits what you will take from it.
−
You are trading with money you cannot afford to lose. No educational programme changes that risk. Sort your position sizing and risk management before joining any mentorship.
The process

How the mentorship works.

From application through to your first session — what to expect at each stage.
1
Recommended: build your foundation
We recommend working through the free core ICT programme in cluster order, using the Learning Path Tracker to mark your progress. This is a recommendation, not a requirement — the application asks about your current level so we can tailor the mentorship to where you are, whether you are just starting out or already experienced.
2
Submit your application
The application form below asks which articles you have completed, which markets and sessions you are focused on, what specific gaps in your execution you are trying to address, and a brief description of a recent trade setup — right or wrong — described in your own words. This helps us understand your current level so we can tailor the mentorship to you.
3
Onboarding session
Accepted applicants attend an onboarding session covering the mentorship structure, how to submit trade reviews, the community guidelines, and the specific ICT model combinations that will be focused on during the programme. The onboarding confirms you are starting from the right foundation before the live sessions begin.
4
Live sessions and trade reviews
Regular live session walkthroughs covering London and NY kill zones. Submitted trade reviews addressed in group review sessions. ICT methodology Q&A anchored in framework concepts. Weekly market prep covering the draw on liquidity and HTF context for the week ahead.
5
Independent execution
The measure of a successful mentorship is that you no longer need it. You can identify daily bias, read the AMD phases, mark the relevant PD array levels, and execute a CRT or Judas Swing setup independently — with your own reasoning, your own risk management, and your own decision at every step.

Common questions

Mentorship FAQ

Do I need to have completed the core programme before applying?+

There is no hard requirement — the mentorship is open to all levels. That said, you will get the most from it once you are comfortable with the core framework: identifying daily bias, reading BOS and CHoCH, and locating the relevant PD array tool on a clean chart. If you are not there yet, the free course will get you there — or you can apply now and grow into it. The application form asks you to describe a recent trade setup using ICT vocabulary — that answer reveals your current level more accurately than an article count. If you are unsure, complete the course outline first.

Does the mentorship provide trade signals or entry alerts?+

No. The mentorship is purely educational. There are no trade signals, no entry alerts, no “buy here” messages, and no copy-trade service. Every session is structured around understanding the ICT framework more deeply and applying it more accurately. A trader who depends on signals from someone else has not learned to trade. That is not what this programme is for.

Which markets does the mentorship cover?+

Live sessions focus on the most liquid markets where ICT setups are most reliably documented: Forex majors (EURUSD, GBPUSD, AUDUSD), Gold (XAUUSD), and US equity index futures (ES, NQ). The London and NY kill zones are the primary session windows covered. The methodology applies across all liquid markets — the specific instruments are interchangeable once the framework is internalised.

I am a complete beginner to trading. Should I join?+

Yes — beginners are welcome. To get the most out of it, we recommend starting with Article 01: What is ICT Trading? and working through the free core ICT programme first, so the live sessions build on a foundation rather than starting from zero. That said, if you would rather learn by doing, you can apply directly and we will meet you where you are. The choice is yours.

Can I participate if I can only attend some sessions?+

Sessions are recorded and available to members who cannot attend live. That said, live attendance — particularly for trade reviews and Q&A — produces a materially different outcome than watching recordings. If your schedule prevents you from attending at least the majority of sessions live, it may be worth waiting for a cohort that runs at more suitable hours for your timezone.

What is the application process?+

Submit the application form below. The form asks about your current ICT knowledge, the markets you focus on, the specific execution gaps you are trying to address, and a brief description of a recent trade setup using framework vocabulary. Applications are reviewed and accepted based on framework readiness — the mentorship is not open enrollment. If your application is not accepted at this stage, you will receive a recommendation for which articles to revisit before reapplying.
